The Rating of the Quality of Uranium Metals by Microscopic Stringer Counts by S. J. Broderick,A. J. Busch Pdf
A method has been devised for the rating of the quality of production grade uranium metal by microscopic stringer counting. The basis of the method is to count the total length of stringers in a polished sample at 100 magnification with the aid of a one-half inch square ruled grid screen. Simplification of the method allows the substitution of standard rating charts for comparison with the sample under observation. The rating method as applied to 40 disc samples from two months production of uranium metal was able to distinguish a difference in the quality of metal as produced by two manufacturers.
